@camilli:
I was considering transferring as another option too, thanks for suggesting it! I think I will put it down as a definite possibility.

@BrownParent:
I kinda needed to hear this since it is difficult to shake off the fear-mongering of “If you don’t go to X school…!” so thank you for all of that post. I wasn’t aware there were med school forums here and will definitely go give them a look now.

@PetraElise:
Hearing this from a mom is comforting since I am told the same by friends, but it’s hard to internalize. I will sit down and talk with her about this, since I agree that it is my path, and I think it may ease some of her worries that she messed me up or somethign similar.

That is an extremely solid point, and I will bring that up with her. Right now she’s at work, and won’t come home till tomorrow morning, so I’m glad I have a chance to cobble together some things. I would ask for tips on what to do in undergrad to sort of pave the road to graduate school, but I think the medical school forum might help out with specifics for schools and such. Thank you!
